I'm more and more hoping of a SF win. I think I'd rather have SF tie us in SB wins and to see Lewis go out as a LOSER than to see them Rats win a SB.

I think the biggest hurt would be to see the Ravens win and Flacco win MVP. Something Ben hasn't accomplished yet.. Although, I still don't understand why he didn't win the MVP in the Cardinals game with that drive. I know Holmes had the great catch, but Ben led them down the field....

Plus Ben gave Santonio a second chance to make the TD catch after he missed the first.

Not only that, but both of Holmes' big plays on that drive wouldn't have been possible if not for Roethlisberger. The 40-yard catch-and-run wouldn't have been possible without Roethlisberger making Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie bite on a pump-fake to Mewelde Moore in the right flat and opening up a huge hole in the secondary. And the acrobatics in the end zone wouldn't have been possible if the ball wasn't thrown perfectly.

Of course, fans get to vote for the Super Bowl MVP, so that probably takes some of the shine off the award anyway. All the fans do anymore is vote for the QB of the winning team -- unless it's Roethlisberger. Six of the last seven Super Bowl MVPs have been QBs. Only one has been shut out. Guess who.
